What Is Happiness?

Happiness is not a condition.

Happiness is unconditional;
it does not rely on conditions.

If we rely on a condition to be happy – a specific state, requirement, circumstance or person – these are temporary events. This means that when the condition for happiness is taken away, we will be unhappy. When this happens, we look for the condition again. This is the stupid cycle of existence.

Things that make us happy can also make us unhappy.
Unconditional happiness is freedom from conditions – and also from being conditioned.
